Letters from the past, are a memory blast. Met myself from three decades ago, Via writings from a loquacious pro.

A sari box got opened, And a revelation got made- Definition of a sari in a dictionary is wrong, Its not just a garment that’s about six feet long. It’s a harbinger of memories, A drape in its weft, weave and wrap carrying stories. My saris are not just cottons, silks, georgettes and chiffons, Each … Continue reading A Sari Box
